Description Date Created: 01.2008
Tools: pencil, pen, colored pencil
Program Used: Photoshop CS2
Note: First crew in mind. As you can see the male character (engine mechanic) was removed from the final casts for no special reason (well I had a hard time drawing his hair ) but if you think he fits the crew then I might bring him back to the story...

Introduction:

250 million years from now Earth’s landmass will merge into a single continuous continent and will be called Pangaea Ultima. In the Pangaea Ultima scenario, subduction at the western Atlantic, east of the Americas (signs of it can be seen today, the Puerto Rico Trench), leads to the subduction of the Atlantic mid-ocean ridge followed by subduction destroying the Atlantic oceanic basin, causing the Atlantic Ocean to close, bringing the Americas back together with Africa and Europe. As with most supercontinents, the interior of Pangaea Ultima would probably become a semi-arid desert prone to temperature extremes.

About the Myth:

The popular myth tells us that humans had reached the peak of technological advancement but were ceased because of mass extinction. This event close to the Cretaceous–Tertiary extinction left the planet almost lifeless unstoppable even with such progression. Only 5% of human specie had survived the extinction event which will lead us to the formation of Ophelia's colony... Those who lost their lives during such event predicted about the supercontinents and built a device that would stop the formation which will be massively destructive than the event which had happened to them.


THE HARBINGER

Accounts below are from Ophelia’s diary…

Mid-day

The radar is gone and the kid is trying to fix it. We’ll be in this harbour for three days. It’s hard to think that we needed to count the nights to know the time. Men from East Proxima said that they’re having winter in the middle of the year. That’s when people started to lose track of time.

Dusk

I’m tired seeing vermillion sky. It’s been like this forever. The sun is getting hotter each and everyday yet we still need these heavy clothes for the night. The kid’s still fixing the radar.

Evening

We don’t usually see stars in the harbour but there’s a place where we can find endless stars which seemingly curtains the world. Everyone’s needed down the basement. It gets colder at night.

Morning

A lot has been discussed. The oldman said that the myth is real. A technology exist which can change the course of the planet. It’s hard to be the 23rd generation of the harbinger. I hold the biggest responsibility to save mankind and I don’t know where to start.

Mid-day

The oldman gave me a book. He said it was from my 13th generation great grandfather. I might find some information which may lead us to this myth. I read the first page and it’s all about his wife.

We bought parts for the radar. We bought them from the merchants. They said they’re from the South. Source of the parts we acquired were unknown. They don’t want to tell us. Regardless, Pierre said it’ll be fixed by morning. Read half of the book. All accounts were written in Germany (Northwest perhaps). He always said that the most important thing to him is in Germany and it’s not his wife.
